What concern for god. If there is such a thing it needs no concern from me. As for morals, I think you have bought the theist party line. Morals are simply social behavior for social animals. All social animals have such behavior, caring for the young, protecting the heard or village, teaching the young. It is part of their evolution. Human social behavior is particularly advanced and is mankind’s most significant evolutionary advantage. A single man by himself no matter how intelligent can never accomplish what a thousand mediocre men can accomplish if the men work together towards a common goal. And a nation of three hundred million people working in social concert can accomplish all that much more. It is morals and other traits that allow it to happen.
